House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the House could stay in session longer if necessary to arrive at a deal with Senate leaders for a new coronavirus relief package.
“We have been ready for two months and 10 days,†she said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,†referencing the the $3 trillion relief bill – dubbed the HEROES Act – the House passed in May.
“We can’t go home without†a deal, she added, “but it’s so sad that people should have this uncertainty in their life.â€
Pelosi also assailed congressional Republicans, saying “the only thing they accomplished was a tax cut for the wealthiest people in America, in order to give 83 percent of the benefit to the top 1 percent, and they’re resenting $600 for single moms to be able to put food on the table, for dads to maintain the dignity of keeping the families intact.â€
